NOTE: Boombox is available only on vehicles equipped with the Pedestrian Warning System (PWS).

Boombox, an app in Toybox, uses the Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) speaker to play media externally when Model Y is parked. You can customize sounds by plugging in a specifically-formatted USB drive, as described below.

NOTE: Check local laws before using Boombox in public places.

  • Internal and external volume control.
  • If Camp Mode is enabled in Climate Controls, you can exit the car and control the volume with the mobile app.

2. Megaphone When ON, you can project a modulated voice through the vehicle's external speaker.

  • Available in Park only.
  • External volume control.

3. Horn sound

  • Available in Park only.
  • Settings can be adjusted only when in Park.
  • Selecting from a USB drive plays the first five seconds.

Formatting a USB drive for Boombox

Follow these steps to add up to five custom Boombox sounds:

1. Using a computer, format a USB drive to exFAT, MS-DOS FAT (for Mac), ext3, or ext4 (NTFS is currently not supported) and upload audio files to a folder named Boombox.

  • Supported file types:.wav and.mp3.
  • You can add as many files as you want to the folder, but you can only select from the first five, as listed alphabetically.
  • File names, of any length, can only contain these characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, (. - _ ).
  • The drive should only contain one folder; it cannot be shared with Dashcam.

2. Plug the USB drive into a front USB port.

NOTE: For some vehicles manufactured after approximately November 1, 2021, the center console USB ports may only support charging devices. Use the USB port inside the glove box for all other functions.

3. Choose sounds from your USB drive by selecting them from the Boombox dropdown menu.
